We are writing to thank you for your application to the University of Wisconsin Law School and to update you on your status.

In previous correspondences we stated that applicants on the hold list would either be admitted or placed on the wait list. At this time, we have decided to move all applicants who remain on the hold list to our wait list. As you may know, we received nearly 3200 applications for the 270 seats available in the Fall 2005 incoming class. As I have shared with some of you already, we currently have over 300 people who have accepted our offer of admission, and have communicated to us their intent to enroll.

While we are certainly gratified by the response we have received, it means that we are in the unenviable position of asking a very small group of highly credentialed applicants to continue to wait for a possible opening in the entering first year class. We are unable to predict how many seats in the entering first year class will open up. There might be a very slight possibility of available seats, or we might have no vacancies at all to be filled from the wait list. If at any point it becomes clear that you are no longer interested in remaining on the wait list, please let us know. We appreciate your patience during this process.

I noticed that a lot of the attorneys that work/worked here have a lot of family members who also are. One guy had two siblings and his father. Another has his dad, sister and himself all in the field.

I noticed on LSN that it seems like quite a few people have taken the LSAT more than once. I am wondering if this is really as bad as my pre-law advisor, boss, coworkers, admissions officers that I have emailed, etc. have all said.

I want to hear from some people who got into top tier schools to see how many used this strategy.

Still in nowhere. Can someone please lie to me and tell me I will get in somewhere soon? I knew it would be difficult with the late apps, but being on this site and seeing all the acceptances (none of which I have) is making me queasy.

Make fun of me if you must, but I really am at an all time low today. When I came home and the only thing in the mailbox was a notice telling me I have to start paying back my undergrad loans next month, I just wanted to crawl in bed and not get out until someone accepts me.

Do you think this is a joke or is it for real? If this is real, LSAC and the schools really need to do something about limiting the number of apps people fill out. This guy is using up the resources of 50 schools adcomms and can ONLY ATTEND ONE SCHOOL! He certainly can't really want to go to more than 10-15 of these.
